Students Enrolling at Consortium Institutions

All Marymount degree-seeking students in good academic standing are eligible to enroll in courses offered through the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area and in synchronous online language courses offered by the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges (VFIC). See Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area for participating institutions and programs. Nondegree students are not eligible.

Degree-seeking students may enroll under the following conditions:

• The course must be recommended by the student’s advisor and approved by the student’s program or department chair prior to enrollment.
• The course may not be offered concurrently at Marymount.
• A maximum of two courses through the consortium and two language courses through VFIC may be counted for credit toward Marymount degree requirements.
• Students should not enroll in consortium classes during the semester of their anticipated graduation. Students who take a course outside of Marymount during their final semester may delay their graduation.

Enrollment at Marymount does not guarantee enrollment at a visited school or a VFIC participating institution.

Students enrolled in consortium courses follow the registration, withdrawal, and grading policies of their home institution.

Consortium courses fulfill the minimum-credits requirement for residency.
